7. Adjust the skew adjustment screw [A] at the left side of the carriage.
NOTE: If the main scan skew value that you checked in the “skew adjustment”
is negative, turn the skew adjustment screw in the clockwise direction
[B].
If the main scan skew value that you checked in the “skew adjustment”
is positive, turn the skew adjustment screw in the counter clockwise
